Our urban children are surrounded by unfortunate temptations of the wrong food and entertainment where they sit in doors with little exercise. We continually highlight the message that exercise leads to a healthy lifestyle and we encourage this attitude in our young students.
All classes have a double lesson of games each week, where they have jogging, fun games, races, ball skills, and team games, all simple activities but enjoyable.
They have a wide choice of activities during their morning break with all the necessary equipment. These break activities ensure they return to class mentally more alert for their academic work.
We have professional coaches in cricket, basketball, golf and football, who generously give their time to coach the higher classes after school.
Confidence building and a sense of achievement by participating in physical activities is so important and we encourage it in all our students.
PE at Thimphu Primary School helps pupils to
- Experience the enjoyment of physical activity
- Develop self esteem
- Develop co-operation and tolerance
- Learn to face and respond to challenges
- Participate in physical activity whatever their ability
- Develop and maintain physical fitness
